I can't stand those people, and it pains me to see our national candidates cater to them. But they have a way of marginalizing themselves. The latest is when a prominent supporter of Perry called Romney and the Mormons members of a cult. Fact is, all religions started as cults and stayed that way until they got old and established enough for sane people to accept their crazy "holy" books as the revealed word of god. This year the Republicans as a whole are acutely aware of the need to nominate someone who is electable and will beat Obama, and they are now coalesing around Romney. He is being pilloried because of his religion just as Jack Kennedy and Al Smith were condemned because of their Roman Catholicism. I would have preferred Chris Christie, but have decided to back Romney because Christie isn't running and Romney is a proven manager, which this country desperately needs. I wince whenever Romney throws out some red meat to the Christers, but the last thing gays should become is a single issue claque that votes with its heart or groin rather than its head. There is only one compelling issue in this election, and that is the economy. When it comes to fiscal policies, democracies are too undisciplined to refuse their interest groups. We do need a balanced budget amendment, and a period of profound austerity, to keep our becoming another Greece, and we will never get that from the "spread the wealth around" Democrats. If we don't do this America will kill itself as a nation.Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-56666042571698043472011-10-09T18:11:44.853-04:002011-10-09T18:11:44.853-04:00No fair minded person would believe that all Repub...No fair minded person would believe that all Republicans are liars and bigots.

The killers of Matt Shepard and James Bryd were tried under existing state laws. The Shepard family did not want prosecutors to seek the death penalty, so his two killers received two life sentences each. Despite similar opposition from one of the Byrd relatives, one of his killers has been executed, another awaits it on death row, and the third, who turned state's evidence, was given life without parole. There simply was no need for a Federal law. What is obvious to me is that this columnist has been enlisted in the effort to whip up the Democratic Party base in preparation for next year's election, which is well underway. The vehicle he uses are the rantings of a misguided congresswoman, spiced up by a quotation of a demagogue like Olbermann, who was so bad he was fired by MSNBC like Glenn Beck was at Fox. <br /> The Hate Crimes Act was passed and signed into law two years ago. I blieve the waving of poor Matt's bloody shirt is now being used to smear all Republicans as liars and bigots, in service to the Obama Administration's desperate attempt to retain power and divert our attention from the national financial bankruptcy.Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-86299542539211409092011-10-09T12:21:57.547-04:002011-10-09T12:21:57.547-04:00Justin,

So I think we<br />cannot think of her as a Human Being. Human Beings are a temple of the Holy Spirit, whom she never knew of.

Unfortunately, we are bombarded with so many things at election time that we all tend to forget things. I believe people should vote. Just don't vote on things that you don't know about. <br />As for our elected officials voting on bills, they are being paid to learn the facts and not to just go on what their peers down at the golf club are gossiping about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964941329127641280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-65525208470127519692011-10-09T02:36:19.563-04:002011-10-09T02:36:19.563-04:00At the time, Keith Olbermann called Rep.
